Alright, so the car in the photo is almost certainly not a GTI — not on steelies with no red trim. That’s a poverty-spec Euro Mk2, methinks. But the great people at Couch do have some GTI fabric guitar straps, if you want a bit of that old eight-valve mojo.
That is what an ’85 GTI looks like. It was apparently Motor Trend’s Car Of The Year. Well, I’ve always said that you can’t go wrong buying the MT COTY.
Here’s the interior of a well-cared-for ’85 GTI.
And here’s the guitar strap. If you’re interested in picking up a neat “upcycled” way to hang a guitar, you should check them out. Disclaimer: Your humble author owns about forty-something Couch straps, and has paid full price for each one.

- Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
- Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
- AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
- Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
- SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.

After the last Couch article I mentioned their site to my wife and she ended up buying her brother a blue vinyl GTO trunk liner guitar strap. He loves it.
I'd rather have a mkI wallet. http://www.walletwerks.com/collections/wallets/products/vw-golf-mk1-gti-bifold-wallet http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0172/7734/products/PB256139_1024x1024.jpg
